Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering crops in the family Iridaceae, first referred to as a genus in 1866 by Chr. Fr. Echlon (1795-1868) and named after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It really is indigenous to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most kinds being within Cape Provinces. Kinds of the former genus Anomatheca are now contained in Freesia. The plant life often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia types. Some other types are also expanded as ornamental crops.
They may be herbaceous vegetation which grow from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which transmits up a tuft of narrow leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of plants with six tepals. Many kinds have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped bouquets, although those formerly positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have smooth flowers. Freesias are used as food vegetation by the larvae of some Lepidoptera kinds including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The vegetation usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses made in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these varieties and the green- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have bouquets which range from white to yellowish, pink, red and blue-mauve. They are really mostly cultivated expertly in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be quickly increased from seed. Because of their specific and pleasing scent, they are often used in side lotions, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blossoms are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the land in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature will not land below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the spring in Zones 4-8.
Freesia laxa (previously called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other varieties of the genus which is often cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it includes flat rather than cup-shaped flowers. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary solutions to satisfy chilly dormancy which results in formation of buds within the predicted amount of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply herbs) are vegetation that have no consistent woody stem above surface. Herbaceous plant life may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants perish completely by the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, and they then grow again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial crops may have stems that pass away at the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant survive under or near the ground from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they blossom and pass away). New progress develops from living tissues staying on or under the bottom, including roots, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at ground level) or numerous kinds of underground stems, such as light bulbs, corms, stolons, rhizomes and tubers. Examples of herbaceous biennials include carrot, parsnip and common ragwort; herbaceous perennials include potato, peony, hosta, mint, most ferns and most grasses. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial vegetation are woody plants that have stems above earth that continue to be alive during the dormant season and grow shoots another season from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
